Arsenal have held discussions over a possible move for Freiburg centre back Caglar Soyuncu.
The Turkey international has emerged as one of the most promising defenders in Europe this season and has drawn attention from both Manchester clubs, Liverpool, Chelsea and Roma over the past 12 months.
Arsenal head of recruitment Sven Mislintat is also well aware of Soyuncu's progress and is weighing up a summer bid.
Freiburg are reluctant to sell though and that is driving up his valuation closer to the £30million mark.
